I have a small problem which I cannot find the answer to, and I wonder if you could possibly help me. I have a Pentium 233 Meg PC with a 3.2 Gig HDD partitioned into 2 X 1.6 Gigs, those being “C” and “D” Drives. The TX Mb has a No.1 and No.2 IDE outlets on the board. My problem started after receiving a RICOH 24×6x4 CD “Burner” for Xmas, which I installed into the PC on IDE1 as the “slave” to the HDD. All works well, and the “burner” was recognised as the “E” Drive by WIN98. I then connected my TEAC 24x CD to IDE2 as a “master” and after having set-up the BIOS, the PC now recognises both CD’s during Boot-up, but Windows 98 Explorer only shows “E”, “F” is missing. The Control Panel/System shows that there are 2 CD Drives and recognises their types as does Norton and Sandra. The DOS Prompt also allows me to access them both and to run programs (DOS Types only). I have also installed “F” as a “slave” to no avail. Can you please advise me how to get my “F” Drive to show in WIN Explorer.

I have done some research on your question using the internet and I have found people having similar problems to yours. It seems that the most common cause of this problem is if TweakUI (or a similar type application eg. TweakALL) is installed and is enabling a function causing some drives to be hidden. If you do have TweakUI installed, open it by going to the ‘Start’ menu > ‘Settings’ > ‘Control Panel’, and open the ‘TweakUI’ control panel. Click the ‘My Computer’ tab and make sure that all necessary drives are checked (ie. selected so that they are visible).
